Egads! What has Blogger done to me - changing the layout and buttons and everything. So, my apologies if nothing on this post looks right!

Today's button is a wrapped and woven, I think the simplicity of two colours is quite nice. This could of course be made to go with just about anything by keeping the colour scheme simple.

I've used a No 2 button mould and No 12 cotton perle. I won't link today, as it will probably take me another 20 minutes to do it properly, lol!

Today's button is really quite straightforward, a V wrap with a little bird's eye button added to it. I like it though and as a larger button think it would look quite nice on a summer jacket. In fact, I think I might have a linen jacket in this colour...

I've used a No 4 mould and No 12 cotton perle, along with linen thread for the bird's eye.

Today's button is a little weird. It is a cloth covered ring, but I stuffed only a part of it, which gives an uneven surface. I think I like it, but I'm not sure. I've kept it on the table a few days - it didn't get binned, so I must quite like it. 

I'm very late at posting today - been busy writing instructions for a new kit, which means measuring thread lengths and taking photos every step. To be honest, I completely forgot that I hadn't done this post!

I used a No 31 ring, fabric and No 12 perle cotton.
